- Description
- Series Description
Testing Reading through Summary explores the use of summary tasks as an effective means of assessing reading comprehension ability. It focuses in particular on text-removed summary completion as a task type that offers a way of addressing more directly the reader’s mental representation of text for reading assessment purposes.
The volume describes a series of empirical studies that investigated the development of text-removed summary completion tasks, their trialling and validation with results from an independent measure of reading ability. Findings from the project suggested that it is possible to develop a satisfactory summary of a text which will be consistent with most readers’ mental representation if their reading of the text is adequately contextualised within some purposeful activity.
